Different Modalities of Flap Coverage of Achilles Tendon Region Defects: Functional and Aesthetic Outcomes

Abstract

Background: In the decision-making process toward covering various Achilles' tendon region, knowledge about patient related outcomes after surgery and rehabilitation is important. Therefore, we aimed to present an overview of outcomes and select the most appropriate flaps used for covering soft tissue defects over Achilles' tendon region.
